Ok, so I am going to post another song soon, probably this friday, one from Scotland this time, Hey Johnnie Cope, but that is not the point of this post.
I don't do a lot of tags, mostly just the ones I think help give people an idea of who I am, and rather convieniantly, Gracie recently tagged me with this one, which I think helps further that end quite nicely.

RANDOM-OLOGY
If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die? Perhaps, it would doubtless motivate me to try harder at everything.

DUMB-OLOGY
How many pairs of flip flops do you own? Uh, I have one pair of krogs, but no flip-flops.
Last time you had a run-in with the cops? When I owned them during a training excercise involving paintball guns, long story, but the short of it is that a buddy and I got picked to play terrorists, and ten NC police officer weren't enough to take us down.
Last person you talked to in person? My sister, just now, wanting to borrow my MP3 player to transfer some music to a different computer.
Favorite Month? Probably September, still lots of critters to catch (Or hunt, nomnomnom) but the climate is cold enough I sleep better at night.
CURRENT-OLOGY
Mood? Tired
What are you listening to? Colin's Rescue, from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess soundtrack
Watching? Nothing, we get the clichéd three channels where I live, and I don't much like TV or movies anyway.
Worrying about? The Bible tells us not to worry, but I am concerned and praying for Gracie's Aunt.
RANDOM-OLOGY

A lot of completely unrelated stuff, black leather fingerless gloves, boots, and a jerkin for my Ren Fest costume, a pair of Starfire Longswords for practicing with, a practice set of Uilleann pipes (Pronounced Ill-en) and a full metal body Clarke D whistle. I doubt I will get any of these though.

Can you do a chin up? See above
Do you have any saved texts? I do not have a phone, therefore I do not text. I do have a few saved chat logs though.
Ever been in a car wreck? I do not believe so
Do you have an accent? I CAN have an accent, normally I sound mildly southern, but I prefer to sound Irish or Scottish. This confuses my friends and new people I meet because they can rarely tell when I am speaking "normal"

Remember folks, Hey Johnnie Cope, coming soon! If you like marching tunes about bagpipe-phobic Jacobite generals, stay tuned!

CLOAKS!
The excellent Gracie recently sent me a picture of when she accompanied me and some friends to the Ren Fest last year (08) since it has a picture of the (old) cloak, I am posting it here until I can get some more recent pictures of my costume. Sword not yet included, but on the way as soon as I get the $190.I made this thing from the heaviest material I could find, it is water resistant, and so functions as a poncho when needed. Also, it is so heavy that I occasionally go mad when wearing it and begin screaming about giant squids, carpet monsters, and bread dough.

Nemisis
Well, it appears that Gracie will not be posting a prompt on Pen-Wielders, but after I went through all the trouble to make an epic nemesis sticker I can hardly stand to let it go to waste.
SOOOOOoooo.....
From now on, anyone who causes me to make a rule I have not already stated gets a Nemesis Sticker.
You can pick from the three below.
I am working on a Friend of Critters Sticker for Gabby and anyone else who compliments me pets.
